No rating since I skimmed about 30% of it. :(

I loooooooved the prologue! It was gruesome and tense and delivered so much in a few pages. I thought that had truly set up the tone of the novel and i was going to love this! Sadly, that was not the case.

The tone shift in the first chapters took some of me excitement away and the slow pace didn't help bring it back. I couldn't connect to the characters and Amara's perspective and the plot didn't capture my attention. I kept waiting for something exciting like the prologue to happen and... nothing.

I ended up skimming a lot of the middle and didn't find that I missed much in terms of important twists, either. The ending was a bit more satisfying, but by then I wasn't invested at all.
